Chapter 399
Byran was relieved to see that she didn’t seem upset. That’s good! As long as you’re not angry, we can still be friends!”
Ellinor found the conversation dull and stopped paying him any attention.
“Ellinor, to be frank, I really like you” Byran scratched the back of his head sheepishly
Ellinor stopped midway through eating her chicken wing and looked at Byran’s reddening face with a poker face. “Oh, well, thanks for the affection!”
Seeing her nonchalant reaction, Byran complained. “Hey! Why aren’t you reacting?”
“And how should I react? Ellinor picked up a fan to fan the charcoal, making the fire bigger. The chicken wings would be tastier if they were a bit charred. Byran’s face turned sour. “Are you kidding me? I’m confessing my feelings to you!”
Ellinor was unimpressed. “Just to help Patricia Howard get rid of a love rival, right? You think I’d take you seriously?”
Byran crossed his arms and admitted. “Alright, I admit, while that part is true, it’s not the main reason anymore! Ellinor, I’m having these special feelings for you. I can’t explain them, but I just don’t find you annoying anymore!”
“Byran.
A soft voice called for Byran from behind him.
Byran turned to see Patricia emerging from the villa. He looked worried. “Why are you wearing so little?”
He quickly took off his jacket and walked over to drape it over Patricia.
Patricia smiled. “It’s okay, I’m not cold.”
Byran insisted. “Even if you’re not cold, you should wear more. What if you catch a cold?”
Patricia accepted Byran’s jacket, then turned to Ellinor, who was still barbecuing. “Ellinor, why didn’t you go inside with Theo?”
Ellinor was focused on her chicken wings. “I have social anxiety, I don’t like crowded places.
Seeing that Ellinor was focused on her chicken wings, Patricia told Byran, Byron, why are you just watching her work? You should be a gentleman and help her. Women shouldn’t be exposed to such heavy fumes!”
Byran complied with Patricia’s words, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over. “I’ll do it. You and Patricia go rest a bit, away from the heat and fumes.”
Ellinor seemed reluctant, worried that he might burn her chicken wings. Are you sure you can handle it?”
Byran was met with skeptical eyes, despite his good intentions. He emphasized. “Of course I can! My friends and I often go for barbecues during vacations. They all say i make delicious chicken wings!”
Ellinor finally gave up her spot. “Is that so? Well, I’m in for a treat then!”
Byran was ready to show off his barbecue skills and impress Ellinor.
At that moment, Patricia came over and linked arms with Ellinor “Ellinor, leave this to Byran. Let’s go chat in the gazebo over there. You need a break too!”
